Good morning: The boys are at it again!

Wednesday

We haven’t written for a few months and we didn’t want to be forgotten by you our readers. This time Lucca, 6, is going to write and I, Nikita, 8, am going to take it easy in my chair.

We had a couple of really dramatic weeks of worry at our house. My parents did a really stupid thing and went to the Friends Forever fundraiser a few weeks ago. Of course, they looked at all the animals. While we love that fact that they love both dogs and cats, our family is perfect with just the two of us.

Then the next day, we heard them talking about a cute little orange female cat that would match my brother and me. What? Well we sat up and took notice. They had to be kidding — another cat? We heard them discuss this for days. Should they go and check her out or not? They questioned whether it would disrupt the harmony between the two boys who got along so well and were so well behaved?

Well that is all it took. We went into cat action. You have never seen two brothers love each other as much as we did that week. Nikita did not drag me around by the neck once or chase me around the house. We shared our food, mice and chairs with no hissing.

We decided to be on our best behavior — no walking across their heads while they were sleeping or crawling in between them at night. Nikita even started saying “milk” when he went to the refrigerator and that has been a long time in coming.

I was beside myself as I don’t want to be a middle cat. I love being the youngest and getting the most attention.

Then, a week ago we heard them say they were going out to look at her to see if she will let mom hold her like a baby. We hoped she would hiss and spit and maybe nip. But the best news was when they came home and said she already had been adopted.

Wow. That was a close call, and we let out a sigh of relief. So now we are back to being naughty and hoping they have dropped the idea forever. We will keep you posted.
